| Tranmission Flush Yooo... My new car is getting up there in miles (30,000) and I was wondering if I SHOULD and how often I should get my transmission flushed. I had an Acura Integra and got it flushed at 100k and the car ran like it was brand new. Anyone know of any facts for how often I should do this OR if I should do it at all? I've heard from SOME people that it's just a way for companies to make money off of you...

| Re: Tranmission Flush Check your owner's manual, it should tell you how often to change it in there. Always trust the manufacturer's service recommendations. I usually do my own work, but go to the dealer to buy the fluids (except motor oil) that they recommend for the car.

| Re: Tranmission Flush I've been following the manual for everything fairly well. I just hear from other people about needing to do that

| Re: Tranmission Flush 30k is the *usual* service interval for a transmission, but you really should check the manual and see what it recommends.

| Re: Tranmission Flush Cool, thanks. I just hit 30,000. And I've heard that by this "service" it means to drop the pan out and change the transmission filter, NOT flush the transmission.

| Re: Tranmission Flush Definitely follow your manual. Places like Jiffy lube will always try to hit you up for services you don't need. |

| Re: Tranmission Flush YES. I had that experience with them once already. I have a good mechanic that I trust to do it.
